> I thought the point is that we _wouldn't_ support Java 8 after some date? Why are we building separate JARs for Java 8 when there's no point anyways? (We can't use any new language features, so we might as well stick with the current toolchain, if we are going to support Java 8.) Hi @lidavidm, this draft PR shows how we can build Arrow Java using JDK8 & JDK11 and offer both versions independently. We will need to mark one version arrow in the future that will be the last to support JDK8, so we propose to tag them (ie: classifier jdk8). Alternatively, we could defer this discussion until we have an agreement to deprecate JDK8 and only support JDK11. Let me maintain this PR as a draft to I could continue when we have an agreement as a community to deprecate JDK8. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
